This was my first shawlette. I bought the yarn for that purpose after seeing a sample at the store. The pattern used all but a few yards of the yarn so it was a perfect match. The yarn is so soft and has great drape, but it is a little too unstructured and slippery. Worn as a shawl it works great. Worn as a scarf, it gets a little sloppy looking. A yarn with a little more body would be better for using this shawlette as a scarf. There is someone who loves this and has commented on it twice. I think I might be giving this to her!
